Disney executives told employees ESPN’s dispute with YouTube TV remains unresolved, leaving up to 10 million subscribers without ABC, college football, and Monday Night Football for a second straight weekend. In a memo, Dana Walden, Alan Bergman, and Jimmy Pitaro said their offer matches deals with 500-plus distributors, while accusing YouTube TV of demanding below market terms. Ratings have seen a modest hit. A fan survey, heavy with YouTube users, mostly blamed ESPN and Disney, and 60% considered switching providers. Another sports-packed slate—BYU vs Texas Tech, LSU vs Alabama, and Eagles at Packers—looms without a deal.
